Objects of Desire - Gustto Parina Tote

I absolutely love purses, bags, handbags, clutches, swingpacks, wristlets... the list goes on and on!

My latest object of desire is this Gustto purse.  I haven't been able to find one at a good price yet, but I'm definitely on the hunt!  This looks like the perfect tote bag - it's large, stylish, made with quality suede, and it's purple!  A good combination, any way you look at it!

Gustto Parina Tote

Gustto Parina Tote Bag

• The beautifully detailed Parina bag from Gustto™ is made of soft suede leather.
• Holds your wallet, sunglasses, personal technology and a small bottle of water.
• Dual shoulder straps. Shoulder drop: 8" length.
• Front exterior zip pocket.
• Flat bottom.
• Drawstring closure.
• Interior lining with a back wall zip pocket and multifunctional slip pockets.
• Dimensions: 18" wide x 4" deep x 16" high.

I do own two Gustto purses, and a clutch.  I can tell you that these bags can get heavy, so if you don't like heavy bags, Gustto is not for you.  

For now, my hunt for this lovely tote continues...

Mini Sephora Haul, and Sephora's new Gift with Purchase!

I went to Sephora last Saturday, hoping to buy the Cover FX #160 foundation brush.

Unfortunately, Sephora stores only carry a limited amount of items from Cover FX.  They didn't have Cover FX brushes, so I had to order it online at www.sephora.com

Cover FX #160 Foundation and Stippling Brush

This is a natural bristle brush made of Goat hair

If you have ordered online from them before, I'm sure you know how Sephora sucks you in with free shipping offers, so I bumped up my order by adding something that I have been eyeing for a long time... Fresh Sugar Lychee Bath & Shower Gel.  I have been using Fresh products for years, and this one just smells yummy, almost like a sugary gingery lychee.  Love it!

Fresh Sugar Lychee Bath & Shower Gel - For a squeaky clean shower experience!

And of course I got to pick out my free 3 samples:
Bvlgari perfume Jasmin Noir, Ole Henriksen Pure Perfection night creme, and REN Clean Bio Active Skincare - Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask

I love the Bvlgari perfume!

Then, as it is my birthday this month, I got my free birthday gift from Sephora!

The free Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Beautiful Eyes Gift included eyeshadow,  eyeliner, and mascara!

And finally, more free gifts!! A little folded zippered clutch with TWELVE FREE SAMPLES!
